An unrelenting selloff in world government bond markets pushed U.S. 30-year Treasury yields to 5% for the first time since 2007 and Germany's 10-year borrowing costs to 3% on Wednesday, moves that could hasten a global economic slowdown.

In the U.S. Treasury market -- considered the bedrock of the global financial system -- 10-year yields have soared almost 30 basis points (bps) to 4.8% this week alone, and are up almost 100 bps this year, having jumped over 200 bps in 2022.  ( 32 min )
